Its in right. Those supportng ribs are on the back. It restricts air so that the high pressure section shoves it through the radiator. It is NOT a scoop which is what it would be if you reversed it. It would work better but at the same time it would be far more likely to break when you hit and edge. In this configuration it merely bends back.

It looks a bit beat up, but it's general purpose is served as stated above and it is bolted on correctly. It should have a slight forward rake if it was in mint condition, but I doubt that changes the performance much.

if you think that one looks beat up, when i changed the original one off my car i found it to be 2" shorter that the new one, it was totally worn away.

Where do the lines go? Its a cooling radiator for something, and I don't think its an air cooler. An aftermarket oil cooler perhaps? Mine doesn't have one and I've never seen it before.

My first guess would be a tranny cooler though you're supposed to mount it in front of the radiator... who knows though... tracing the line is the best way to find out.
